Spring MVC XML view

Question

I have been following a tutorial here

As it stands, it works fine.

But if I try to convert a class hierarchy to XML, I get exceptions

Example:

@XmlRootElement(name = "stuff")
public class Stuff {

    @XmlMixed
    public List<Other> getList(){
      return records;
    }

}

Other class:

@XmlRootElement(name="other")
public class Other {
  @XmlAttribute int foo;
}

And the important part of the exception:

class mypackage.Other nor any of its super class is known to this context.

Answer 1

here's a quick workaround:

Add :

@XmlSeeAlso(Other.class) to Stuff .
